Oregon Ducks are putting on a clinic at Autzen Stadium, leading the Minnesota Golden Gophers 21-3 with 9:31 left in the second quarter on FBS1. The No. 1 ranked Ducks (8-1, 5-0 Big Ten) came out firing behind quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who has already thrown for 2 touchdowns and rushed for another in a near-flawless first quarter. Minnesota (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten), known for its stout defense under P.J. Fleck, has been gashed for 14 points in the opening frame, their worst quarter defensively all season. The Ducks scored on their first two possessions: a 65-yard bomb to Tez Johnson and a 12-yard Gabriel scramble. Minnesota’s only points came via a 42-yard field goal after a rare Oregon three-and-out. Stat line so far: Oregon 178 total yards, Minnesota 61. Turnovers? Zero for both, but the Gophers have gone 0-3 on third downs. This blowout pace mirrors Oregon’s 35-0 thrashing of Illinois two weeks ago, signaling Dan Lanning’s squad is hitting peak form ahead of a brutal November slate (Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington). For Minnesota, this is a reality check. Their run-heavy attack led by Darius Taylor (32 yards on 8 carries) has been stuffed by Oregon’s front seven, anchored by Jordan Burch and Matayo Uiagalelei. If the Ducks hold this margin, they’ll jump to 6-0 in conference play, all but locking the inside track to the Big Ten Championship. Live updates: Oregon ball at their 44, 2nd & 6.
